“When I look at Jesus' warm and intimate friendships, my heart fills with praise that Jesus was. . . a man. A man of flesh-and-blood reality. His heart felt the sting of sympathy. His eyes glowed with tenderness. His arms embraced. His lips smiled. His hands touched. Jesus was male! Jesus invites us to relate to him as the Son of Man. And because he is fully man, we can relate to Jesus with affection and love.” MenLooksHeartHandsRealityEyeJesusFeltChristianityBloodSonArmsMy HeartAnd LovePraiseMalesLipsAffectionWarmFleshRelateIntimateHis EyesTouchedInvitesTendernessFlesh And BloodChristian LoveHeart Felt Author:Joni Eareckson Tada
“Sometimes we are tempted to be that kind of Christian who keeps the Lord’s wounds at arm’s length. Yet Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others. He hopes that we will stop looking for those personal or communal niches which shelter us from the maelstrom of human misfortune and instead enter into the reality of other people’s lives and know the power of tenderness. Whenever we do so, our lives become wonderfully complicated and we experience intensely what it is to be a people, to be part of a people.” PeopleKnowsWantHumansKindSometimesRealityChristianSufferingJesusLordOur LivesArmsMiseryComplicatedFleshWoundsLengthMisfortunesTendernessShelterTemptedWant UNicheMaelstrom Book:The Joy of the Gospel Source: The Joy of the Gospel

“While brother Joseph was referring to the provinces of God, I was led to reflect that there is no act, no principle, no power belonging to the Deity that is purely philosophical.
